    Examining perceptions of culturally responsive pedagogy in teacher preparation and teacher leadership candidates
    (SRATE Journal, 2017) Samuels, Amy; Samuels, Gregory; Cook, Tammy
    The study examined a multi-tiered approach for facilitating learning and examining perceptions about culturally responsive pedagogy in teacher preparation and teacher leadership programs. The study aligned with a learning unit we designed to (1) increase understanding of culturally responsive pedagogy and (2) investigate perceptions of cultural responsiveness. We collected data through surveys, collaborative discussions, and active learning projects. Findings revealed participants see value in culturally responsive pedagogy, but have limited exposure to the approach and struggle to imagine how the framework can be regularly implemented. Major themes suggest increased exposure to culturally responsive pedagogy is necessary to promote socially just teaching.
